As part of this launch, SAP will make the offering available on <strong>Bleu\u2019s cloud platform<\/strong> through a strategic partnership between the two companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This announcement builds on SAP\u2019s commitment to sovereign cloud in Europe, first outlined in September 2025, as well as partnerships with Capgemini, Sopra Steria and Mistral AI. The offering addresses the needs of public administrations, Operators of Vital Importance (OVIs), and Operators of Essential Services (OSE) managing sensitive data. This includes <strong>personal data protected under the GDPR<\/strong> (such as health and identity data), <strong>sovereign state data<\/strong>, and <strong>critical operational data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As requirements around <strong>security, resilience, and data sovereignty<\/strong> continue to increase<strong>, SAP Sovereign Cloud in France<\/strong> will enable organizations to modernize their critical systems while operating within a governance framework aligned with French regulations, including the <strong>SecNumCloud framework<\/strong> established by <strong>ANSSI<\/strong> for trusted cloud environments. This initiative represents an important step in strengthening <strong>France\u2019s digital resilience<\/strong> and expanding the European sovereign cloud ecosystem, in line with SAP\u2019s long-term investment in sovereign <strong>cloud and artificial intelligence capabilities across Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<em>Europe\u2019s digital resilience relies on sovereignty that is both secure and scalable. France exemplifies this with SecNumCloud, which provides a clear framework for trusted cloud environments. Together with Bleu, we are deploying SAP\u2019s sovereign cloud in France, enabling our customers to run their critical workloads while continuing to innovate through the cloud and AI<\/em>,\u201d says <strong>Martin Merz, President SAP Sovereign Cloud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>A Trusted Cloud for the Most Demanding Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAP Sovereign Cloud in France will be available on <strong>Bleu\u2019s cloud platform<\/strong>. Bleu is an independent French cloud services company founded by <strong>Orange and Capgemini<\/strong>, aiming to obtain <strong>ANSSI SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification<\/strong> for its services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">SAP will provide <strong>sovereign software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions hosted and operated in France<\/strong>, enabling <strong>public sector<\/strong> organizations and <strong>regulated industries<\/strong> to adopt cloud innovation while meeting the country\u2019s most stringent regulatory requirements. SAP\u2019s approach is designed to align with these requirements and with the highest standards of security and governance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>\u201cThis collaboration with SAP marks a structuring milestone for the cloud ecosystem in France. By hosting SAP solutions on our cloud platform targeting SecNumCloud qualification, we are strengthening the trusted cloud offering available to public sector organizations and regulated industries. Together, we are contributing to the development of a robust and secure digital infrastructure, protected against non-European extraterritorial laws and aligned with the <\/em><em>strategic requirements of the French State,\u201d <\/em>says<strong> Jean Coumaros, CEO of Bleu.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>A Strong European Ambition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This launch is fully aligned with the French government\u2019s \u201ccloud au centre\u201d strategy[1], which encourages organizations to transition toward secure and innovative SaaS solutions compliant with national requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It also reflects a broader Franco-German commitment to strengthening Europe\u2019s model of digital governance. By anchoring critical cloud capabilities for enterprises under European legal oversight, SAP and its French technology partners are expanding trusted deployment options for governments and regulated industries. With this announcement, digital sovereignty moves from political debate to operational reality in France.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visit the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.sap.com\/\">SAP News Center<\/a>.
